Muskegon, Michigan, United States, 15th Apr 2025 – Bruce G. Jones Dental has launched a new educational initiative to help Muskegon-area residents separate fact from fiction when it comes to oral health. With misinformation circulating through social media, outdated advice, and internet rumors, patients often fall prey to harmful myths that can impact long-term dental and overall health. In response, Dr. Bruce G. Jones and his team have released a guide titled “8 Common Myths About Oral Health Debunked”, aiming to equip the public with practical, science-backed information.

“Our mission goes beyond cleanings and checkups—we’re committed to educating our community,” said Dr. Bruce G. Jones. “We hear the same myths from patients every week, and they can do real damage when left unchecked.”

Key Myths Addressed in the Guide Include:

“Sugar alone causes cavities” – The truth: Carbohydrates in general, including breads and pastas, feed the bacteria that lead to decay.

“If your teeth don’t hurt, they’re healthy” – Many serious issues like gum disease can be painless in early stages.

“Brushing harder cleans better” – Aggressive brushing can erode enamel and damage gum tissue.

“Baby teeth don’t matter” – Primary teeth are crucial for speech, chewing, and adult tooth alignment.

The guide also sheds light on often-overlooked oral hygiene practices, such as the importance of flossing, the safety of professional whitening, and the serious health risks linked to untreated gum disease.

This release is part of a broader campaign by Bruce G. Jones Dental to promote preventive care and accurate information. The team continues to emphasize the value of routine exams, proper brushing and flossing techniques, and the role of early detection in maintaining overall wellness.
